9 Dividend Increases: September 19-23, 2016

 Summary

• Companies can only increase their dividends regularly if earnings grow sufficiently.
• I like monitoring dividend increases for stocks on my watch list of dividend growth stocks, because I consider such stocks to be candidates for further analysis.
• Recently, 11 companies on my watch list decided to increase their dividends, including one of the stocks I hold in my portfolio.

To see the list of dividend growth stocks than announced dividend increases in the past week, please read this article at Seeking Alpha.

The list includes 3 stocks that announced double digit percentage increases, as well as 2 DivGro stocks that increased their dividends!
